The infamous wet passenger carpet

Hi all, I've got an '08 987 Boxster S with a familiar issue: water infiltrating the the passenger side carpet. I've dealt with this before on my old 986, which required me to repair the foam tray. I am flummoxed on the 987, however.

I cleaned out the drains under the convertible top, vacuumed them and then blown them out with compressed air. Did the same with the body drains in the painted area where the top sits when in the down position. Also checked front drains near battery tray. I've poured water into all of these drains and seen it go right to the ground through drain tubes, as intended.

BUT STILL GETTING WET CARPET! What do I check next?

(To be clear, this is water collecting BEHIND the passenger seat.)
